TELUS World of Science - Calgary Reviews

Great service from the volunteers, very dedicated and engaging. There are activities for all ages. Food service is good, a bit pricy but good and varied.

Adults night is the way to go! They always put on great events. If you do go, get there early because parking gets tight. There's a lot of great interactive exhibits that will keep everyone entertained.

The Circus is at Telus Spark! What a great reason to go visit them right now as the exhibit is so good!

When the days are too cold to be outside, this is a wonderful place to keep the kids busy and entertained. Lots of programs to keep the public occupied during the winter months. The kids loved spending time here.

Very, very expensive. Paid $100 for a family of 4, not including parking, which is another $5. By comparison, the Royal Tyrell Museum price of admission for a family of 4 is less than half at $46. Content is pretty good, but the value for dollar just isn't there. It's a one-and-done experience.

go here with your kids for some great hands on experience

Always a lot of interesting things to see and do. Food is good. Fees are a little high so get a membership.

Love this place! My son asks to come almost every week. Tons of activities for a toddler and keeps him moving around

Absolutely must to visit. Kids can easily spend there half of a day. Lots of play structures and grounds for kids. Beautiful place.

Not everything is open but still very worthwhile. The pumpkin trebache (sp. ??) was great!

Absoultely not worth going if you do not have kids, 10$ for parking and 27$ for adult admission. Exhibits are underwhelming and not authentic. We spent 15 minutes here and ran out of things to do. If you want a cool science center go to the Telus world of science in Edmonton dont waste your time here

Kids seem to love this place. From an adult perspective permanent exhibits are just ok. Adult night was not worth the money. Special exhibits are worth it such as the Star Trek exhibit.

On a holiday weekend Sunday I was expecting it to be unruly busy but we got there pretty late in the day and it was actually surprisingly quiet on a beautiful day.

Very neat, Lots to learn and see and do, good for all ages, brings out your inner kid. Amenities are nice, and bathrooms are clean. But very very pricey, parking plus entry is $$ and the food is very much overpriced.

Science museums are awesome and this is Calgary's. Check it out for some sciency fun for the whole family.

It's annoying that they aren't open for 8 hours. I would love to come here after school but it's ridiculous they close at 4 pm! Fun inside play. Membership gets you into other museums in Canada and USA. Worth the price for visiting other museums! Great for homeschoolers.

I would definitely suggest going to adult's night. It's adults only and you get to experience the entire place without kids running around. It was very fun!

Been here before, will definitely return. This place is an amazing time for all ages!!

Adult only nights was pretty cool. They have mysteries, events, and drinks!

The kids love this place. They never get tired of it and is all about learning.

Very clean, friendly staff, educational, eatery available

Lots of exhibits are broken or out of service. Kind of a let down for the price paid. Kids enjoyed it

The Telus Science Centre in Edmonton is far nicer and bigger too.
It costed our family of 3 over $70 plus $10 parking. Not worth that money! A lot of the displays are geared for very young kids to play with.

I thought it would have been a bit more appealing to adults and there weren't many exhibits. It definitely wasn't worth the money in my opinion.

All the activities are very engaging and the staff are kind and helpful. A great experience had with my nanny kids!

Lots of cool, interesting things to see and do. Great for kids to learn something new! Definitely have to check out the dome theatre when you are here. The planets and weather shows were amazing!

My family had such a good time visiting! The 3 & 4 year old girls had a great time in the age 8 & under area.

Went to the Thursday Adult night. Drinks, entertainment and science - perfect evening.

The outdoor playground was a huge highlight. However the quantum exhibit was way over all of our heads and there wasn't really anyone to help with explaining it.

My wife and I had a great time checking out the BodyWorks exhibit, and their was lots of other exhibits to explore as well; the pleasant thing was the theatre was also included in the ticket price, and there are shows every hour.

Love this place! My kids have a blast everytime. Wish the exhibits would change a bit more, but it is amazing and fun.

This is an amazing place to bring your children. There are many interactive displays that they can use and learn from. Mine were entertained for more than four hours. Parking ample. Restaurant served a variety of food for adults and children, and wasn't the same beige food you normally get at these places.

It was kool, but not as good as the old building they had. There's alot of stuff for the kids but as an adult was realy hoping they had stuff for adults also. Definitely miss the old building...

Good place to get little kids interested in science. Many types of activities for them to be engaged with rather than watching their tablets. Exhibits seem slow to change over and can get boring if you go back and the same ones are still there. Kids don't seem to mind, if they can watch the same shows over and over then the slow change in exhibits will not be an issue. The food court can be small and crowed and food is expensive.

Good variety of exhibits. My 3-year-old loved the children's museum. I wasn't blown away, but it was interesting.

Parking too expensive. Uninspiring menu options at the cafe. Not enough showings of the in house movies (the space and weather ones) that aren't about bears.

Its a very good place for kids. I remember I loved coming here a few years back

Educational, fun, and super friendly staff. Whale exhibit was stunning!

Amazing learning for kids! Was very happy with the learning opportunities presented, and the variety of stations for kids of all ages. However, the admission cost and food prices in the cafeteria are a bit expensive. Having said that, I would visit again, but not that often. Buying the membership pass can be a possibility, would need to look into it though.

A science museum in the City of Calgary. It offers a wide variety of exhibits that are constantly changing. Each time you visit you learn about a different area of science! Their food is pretty good, I really like the French fries. Outside the museum there is a playground to play on. This is a great tourist attraction in Calgary.

I mean I could find another science center in LA for free and lots of science stuff then Telus spark
I have u Telus spark very bad

The staff is very friendly and welcoming. My parents and I went to Telus Spark to view the Body Worlds: Animal Inside Out exhibit. It was incredible. We also played around at a few of the science stations they have. Amazing learning experiences.

Some interesting displays, but no major exhibit, paid parking and closed at 4:00pm.

The exhibits there were interesting but there only two exhibits. I found that it was not worth the cost of the admission for adults because the entire place was geared towards kids.

Very high entrance fee! If it was half the price to get in it would be a better value.

I wont ever go to an event here ever again....you aren't allowed to get out of your vehicle nor do they have designated smoking areas...not even in your own vehicle

A little bit in the expensive side for a family outing but still a lot of fun. Good place to visit at least once a year.

A great place to learn new things for adult and child. A little hard to get around but overall a great place!

You cab do evertging in an hour don't come here it's overpriced and not fun.

We went on the last day the Junkyard was open (Labor Day weekend), my 6 year old had a fantastic experience helping build a tree house.

Both boys (6 and 4 years) loved all of the main floor exhibits and activities but were a little young for the 2nd floor activities. They had so much fun downstairs and outside we never made it to any of the movies.

The cafeteria was excellent but pricey.

This would be fun if you are 5. No point in going more then once. No fun for kids above 8

The displays were quite good but we were going to eat there but a really poor selection of gluten free options. That was disappointing.

We were worried we wouldn't be able to see it all in 4 hours. That was not a problem. Not to say the features and activities weren't engaging. But it is fairly run of the mill for a science centre and more geared to younger kids.

I love the adults nights at Telus Spark! Check them out every second Thursday of the month.

Great place to take the kids, they have a play area inside and outside. Much more of a hands on science centre than comparable ones across the country

It was a fun place to be and to learn a few things but when I needed to change my sons diaper all of the change stations were broken. I changed him on a table, the floor, and on their couches as I could not anywhere else and there was no use finding a washroom for a change station. Even the family and quiet room ones were broken, figured that would have been top priority.

Don't bother going here if you're over 5 years old. There is nothing of interest to adults (other than the "measure your reflexes time" game on the 2nd floor), which makes the $26 per person charge extra ridiculous. To add to this, more than a couple of the stations weren't working. Very dissapointed, one of the worst science centers I've ever been to. Probably ok for very young kids though.

An interesting and fun place to spend the day, I love the level of detail that goes into every exhibit.

My only complaint is that the paid parking is a nuisance.

Such an awesome place to learn things! A person can go for a week straight and never learn the same things twice!

Must see science park , good for 10 years and old kids . dome thearter movie is a very nice experience.

Very interactive and a great place to take a kid of any age. My 4 year old would have stayed there for the entire day if he could! Lots of hands on learning

Outdoor park is great for older kids. The new junkyard opens at 11am - no adults allowed. But there is a place in the shade to wait nearby. Younger kids will love the indoor play area. There is even a toddler area with lots of fun things.

The food has gotten healthier and more interesting, but still feels expensive. The interactive exhibits and play area are cool but we were disappointed at some out-of-order items. The dome theater is comfortable and fun, though usually I believe an added price.

Great for kids learning and exploring
I would get the membership

Super fun for kids! Go at off times though so it's not super busy

Great place for a family outing. Educational and interactive activities- You can take a break in the cafeteria - you need a few hours to fully enjoy the experience

Maybe I had higher expectation because the only other science center I've been to is the one in San Francisco which is way more interesting that Telus Spark. The little restaurant upstairs was nice and the variety of food surpassed my expectations, although it could have been arranged better to provide a better flow to order and pay and pick up your food.
